Just using an example that most can identify with to demonstrate the example used is not rationing. No doubt there is a problem with those lacking insurance but it is not one of rationing. If one were to solve the problem that DES describes, by providing Universal health care, that would lead to rationing. Just look at the British system.

You're correct. My example was not technically rationing, it was one of access. The U.S. isn't instituting Universal Health Care, so your anology is moot. The new system will give more citizens access. Why do you believe that this system will lead to rationing?
